I like it when even Cloudflare starts to de-Google-ify.

@jaz I was reading about you and what you do on Nation.Cymru. So I decided to enroll to Toots.Wales It's a great Site. My name is John Ward a Mechanical Engineer from Pontypridd. I Design Elevators all over the U.S. and all over the Globe.

@Mastodon I've written a short blog post about it https://blogs.toot.wales/davidoclubb/somethings-happening-in-the-fediverse

I noticed that a lot of people on Mastodon are open source folks, so I wanted to share this article. It was written with blind people in mind, but I think it could help developers feel where we're coming from, why we hold on to closed source operating systems and software, and I did give ways blind people could help make software more usable for us. https://devinprater.github.io/open-source-blindness/ #opensource #accessibility #linux

For private meetings with video/audio, the real choice remains open source software: Jitsi, @nextcloud Riot/Matrix, Wire, Signal. For groups, Wire seems to be the only end-to-end encrypted option, so using a trusted service provider is essential. You can find a list Jitsi instances here: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/wiki/Jitsi-Meet-Instances

The more I know about the airplane industry, or the car industry, the more I want to use ships and trains.

Nobody tell me about ship building or train building!

#Brexit (remember that?) - the continuing delusion.

Gair y Dydd: tridiau(’r) aderyn du a dau lygad Ebrill http://geiriadur.ac.uk/gpc/gpc.html?tridiau'r%20aderyn%20du -- oes unrhyw un yn gyfarwydd â'r ymadrodd hwn am ddiwedd Mawrth a dechrau Ebrill? #cymraeg

Word of the Day: tridiau(’r) aderyn du a dau lygad Ebrill 'the last three days of March and the first two (three) days of April': http://geiriadur.ac.uk/gpc/gpc.html?tridiau'r%20aderyn%20du -- Anyone familiar with this #Welsh expression? (literally 'three days of the blackbird and two eyes of April')

There was a really great website, I think related to the European Union explaining the importance of public tech infrastructure using #OpenSource software. I can't find it for the life of me.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Just upgraded my nextcloud instance using @yunohost to 18 🎉

Worked like a charm (had to upgrade the calendar app too and re-enable it).
